Holland America Line is expanding its Mediterranean offering with a new series of fall 2027 sailings aboard Rotterdam. The collection features five curated itineraries across the Western and Eastern Mediterranean.
The 10- and 11-day voyages call on a mix of destinations, including Lisbon, Naples, Kotor, Rhodes and Alexandria. Select itineraries also feature scenic cruising through the Strait of Messina and past Mount Stromboli, one of Europe’s most active volcanoes.
Guests can explore destinations through a range of curated shore excursions. Experiences range from classic guided city tours to more immersive cultural encounters designed to deepen connection with each destination.
Sailings can also be combined for longer voyages, offering travelers the flexibility to experience a broader cross-section of the Mediterranean. The season concludes with a 14-day transatlantic crossing from Barcelona to Fort Lauderdale.
Expanding Europe Beyond Peak Season
Designed for deeper exploration, the itineraries combine iconic cities with lesser-visited ports and extended time ashore, allowing guests to experience each destination at a more relaxed pace.
